Carter et al use four questions that require a positive answer for the definition of perinatal asphyxia to be satisfied (see Table 2). Table 2: Essential characteristics of perinatal asphyxia 17 Paediatrics A low pH indicates increasing acid in the blood, reflecting insufficient oxygenation of the infant. In Chapter 1, arguments were presented to indicate that the five-minute Apgar score was the score most closely associated with outcome. Neurological dysfunction in the form of fits, abnormal behaviour or altered consciousness must be present shortly after birth if there is to be an argument mounted that later neurological damage had its origin in perinatal asphyxia.
Thus, although there are still instances of obvious birth asphyxia causing brain damage, the majority of children with learning difficulties have, in retrospect, had an entirely normal and uneventful birth. Antenatal events, either inherent in the fetus or secondary to maternal or intrauterine problems, constitute the major cause of learning difficulties in children.
